Lester Chan’s WordPress Plugins June 2008 Update (Wave 1)

Here is the first wave of my June 2008 plugins update containing 11 plugins. The remaining 4 plugins (WP-Ban, WP-DBManager, WP-DownloadManager and WP-PostViews) shall be in wave 2. All of them should work only on WordPress 2.5. It is not tested for any version below that.

The most general noticeable change would be the path to the plugin is now fixed. Previously it was nested in another folder and I got several hate mails because of that. Since the path problem has been solved, the Automatic Plugin Upgrade should work in theory.

Be sure to read the readme.html and checkout the changelog for more information and most importantly NOTE THE TABS AT THE TOP

Why in the world did you change the insert poll text to [poll id="x"]???

I didn’t even realize this until I just looked at a few of my polls and all of them showed my most recent poll rather than the correct ones. So now I’m supposed to go back and edit all of my previous posts to change it to “poll id=” and as a result a bunch of my previous post formatting is going to get screwed up thanks to WordPress.

Found a solution hint in the forum, “Go To WP-Admin -> Design -> Widgets -> Most Rated Widget OR Highest Rated Widget. Click on the Configure icon and then set the post title cut off characters to 0” makes wp-postratings widget use the editable templates.

@Lester: You may take a look at a test-install here, http://beta.thinkpile.com/wp-sticky-test/. It only has the plugins which you stated (enabled and under /plugins dir). Sticky options are default: No, No, and ‘Announcement’. Default WP fresh-install settings as well (except for permalink).
